I picked up the Character Encyclopedia for cheap from Amazon earlier this year. Couldn't resist a few small modifications to remove the Ultramarine symbols and make Titus into (yet another!) lieutenant for my Salamanders. Any kitbashes or conversions you are particularly proud of?

Salamanders Early Great Crusade Squad. There's an old Forgeworld alternative Salamander scheme, of how the then unnamed XVIII legion first looked. And a note they were armed with Volkites. Couldn't resist painting up a squad inspired by the colour scheme #WarhammerCommunity #PaintingWarhammer

Since Warhammer Community has previewed the long rumoured Primaris Vanguard Veterans today, felt like a good time for a retro post. These are the original all metal Vanguard Veterans. They were later succeeded by a plastic multi part kit #warhammercommunity #paintingwarhammer

Painting my Bretonnian Foot Knights has taken an unexpectedly #marchformacragge twist... #WarhammerCommunity #PaintingWarhammer

Recently painted my Legion Overseer. I've got a squad of Solar Auxilia Proximan Sacramentii for him to lead I painted the other year. He's a nice Forgeworld model, and went with the vivid orange as that's the accent colour for that Solar Auxilia regiment #WarhammerCommunity #PaintingWarhammer

Finished my first unit of Knights of the Realm on Foot! Went for the traditional individual heraldry for each Knight, but my using same colours and metals, I think they tie together #WarhammerCommunity #PaintingWarhammer

My take on the Centurion from last year's Heresy box. Couldn't resist giving him a Thunder Hammer! #salamanders #horusheresy #warhammer30000 #warhammer30k #vulkanlives

In honour of the new Whirlwind previewed yesterday, sharing my old school plastic / metal 1990s Whirlwind. Have a soft spot for this old kit, and it's found a home in my Heresy Salamanders #warhammercommunity #paintingwarhammer

One of my hobby goals this year is to add some Old World reinforcements to my old Warhammer Fantasy Bretonnians. First five Knights finished and ready to do battle for the Lady #WarhammerCommunity #PaintingWarhammer

Not much hobby time recently, but had a chance to paint Vulkan He'stan. Superb model and a lot of fun! #WarhammerCommunity #PaintingWarhammer

It's been a while since I had the chance to finish some models. Happy to be getting back to the Hobby with this Heresy Salamander's Rapier. Really fun little kit, and painting the second one now #WarhammerCommunity #PaintingWarhammer

My Salamanders' Heresy Consuls. Lots of discussion about role, load outs and importance of Consuls in the new edition. Nice excuse to share this group photo! #HorusHeresy #WarhammerCommunity #PaintingWarhammer

Recently finished these kitbashed Sternguard. The multi part kit gives LOADS of spares, so added them to some Infernus Marine bodies from Combat Patrol magazine #WarhammerCommunity #PaintingWarhammer

Laurence, EmperorsHobbyist @emperorshobby.bsky.social · 27/06/2025
With the new edition of the Heresy approaching, it's given me motivation to paint up some old models. This squad of Sisters of Silence will make good allies to my Salamanders #WarhammerCommunity #PaintingWarhammer

With Captain Centos making a return, thought I'd share my early 1990s original. He's been repainted a few times and lost his original cloak and banner, but is a veteran of many a decade! #WarhammerCommunity #PaintingWarhammer

Laurence, EmperorsHobbyist @emperorshobby.bsky.social · 30/05/2025
My second & final Castellax Battle-Automata. This one in Salamander Legion colours and iconography. Did some past glory earn it the right to wear Legion colours? Or was it pressed desperately into service after the Dropsite Massacre? #WarhammerCommunity #PaintingWarhammer

Laurence, EmperorsHobbyist @emperorshobby.bsky.social · 23/05/2025
With the Dropsite Preview imminent, now seems a great time to share the original Salamander: Vulkan himself. Beautiful Forgeworld kit, and remember having blast painting him #WarhammerCommunity #PaintingWarhammer

Shared my Heresy era Castellax last week. Thought a group shot with some of his 40k Kastelan brethren would be fun. All painted in colours of the Forgeworld of Voss Prime. #WarhammerCommunity #PaintingWarhammer

Laurence, EmperorsHobbyist @emperorshobby.bsky.social · 15/05/2025
This week's Horus Heresy news has inspired me to finish some models. This Castellax is to ally to my Salamanders. Painted him in the colours of my 40k Voss Prime Mechanicus #WarhammerCommunity #PaintingWarhammer

25 years since the glorious Land Raider made the jump to plastic. Old enough to actually remember it happening. These are my two Salamander examples: Forgeworld Achilles on the left, Redeemer on the right #WarhammerCommunity #PaintingWarhammer

Yesterday's Heresy Tarantula reveals have hit a sweet retro spot for me. These are my 1990s vintage metal Whirlwind and one of my six Space Crusade tarantulas. Have a good weekend #WarhammerCommunity! #PaintingWarhammer

Squad Ganorim, Kill Team Delta, Company Tercio is ready to deploy against the enemies of the Imperium. These guys took some work, there's some imperfect highlights on them as well, but really happy with how they've come out #warhammer #warhammercommunity #deathwatch

Finished my Seraphim Squad for my Bloody Rose sisters. Lots of little details, painted some, left others for now to get them finished at a tabletop standard. Can always return to them another time #WarhammerCommunity #PaintingWarhammer

Salamander Assault Squad ready for some Horus Heresy action. Really nice kit, and added a few power weapons from the bits box for extra combat punch #WarhammerCommunity #PaintingWarhammer

I'm working on some Heresy era Assault Marines for my Salamanders. The squad is coming on nicely, with just finishing touches and tidying up left to go #HorusHeresy #PaintingWarhammer #WarhammerCommunity

Haven't had much hobby time recently, but finished this Imagifier recently as part of my Bloody Rose reinforcements. Happy with how she's turned out #WarhammerCommunity #PaintingWarhammer

First squad of the year finished. My third Bloody Rose Sisters of Battle squad. Gives me a Melta Squad, to go alongside my Flamer and Storm Bolter armed one. Onto a character for them next #WarhammerCommunity #PaintingWarhammer

Great to see the new Minka Lest and her Command Squad from the reveals earlier. Nice excuse to share my version of her current model. Will definitely be adding the new one too #WarhammerCommunity #PaintingWarhammer

Anything Krieg can do, Cadia can do... Combined these shotgun vets (an old Forgeworld kit) from a previous edition, and kitbashed a simple floating Remote Mine, to create this squad of Combat Engineers from the new Codex. Cadia Stands! #WarhammerCommunity #PaintingWarhammer

Laurence, EmperorsHobbyist @emperorshobby.bsky.social · 11/01/2025
Anyone know what size base the remote mine is on? Looks like 40mm to me, assuming the Guard are on normal 25mm ones

The official Heresy Herald consul was shown off today and it's a beauty. But I'm still happy with my Salamanders kitbash from last year #WarhammerCommunity #PaintingWarhammer

First models of 2025 ✅. Back in 2023, painted a little Bloody Rose Sisters of Battle army, and later got some reinforcements. They've been sitting in pile of shame / potential, and want to banish the grey and get them painted this year #WarhammerCommunity #PaintingWarhammer

Laurence, EmperorsHobbyist @emperorshobby.bsky.social · 31/12/2024
Happy New Year! I painted 102 models in 2024: 68 Salamanders for 40k and 30k, some AoS Ogors, an Adeptus Arbites Squad, and an Imperial Agents kill team. I think this Company Heroes Squad, from before I joined BlueSky, is my favourite of the year #WarhammerCommunity #PaintingWarhammer

Last models of the year completed: the Heavy Intercessors from 2023's Strike Force Agastus box. Mixed here with the Heavy Bolter Gunner from the Kill Team #WarhammerCommunity #PaintingWarhammer
